water. Each man leads a pair—one a bay and 
a white, and one a sorrel and a gray—and runs 
ahead of his horses, which he keeps at a good trot.

The stillness of a peaceful and secluded coun- 
tryside on a Summer day pervades the scene. The 
view is bounded by a hill, which shuts out the 
world beyond, rising against a fair, blue sky, with 
white clouds. Its side-hill field has been reaped, 
and shows its denuded surface of brown. At its 
foot is a lush green meadow, watered by a brook 
which ripples in the foreground between graceful 
trees. On a foot-bridge crossing it a woman in a 
sunbonnet stands, leaning on the railing, looking 


pensively down into the stream.

GIRL KNITTING 


Height, 17 me , 131%, inches

A delightfully satisfactory painting —a good 
Blommers, well painted; agreeable as a picture 
and sound in its art. The little girl, stocky yet 
supple, has seated herself on the sloping bank of 
an inlet from the sea, in the sparse grass that 
grows out of the white sand. She sits facing the 
right, with one bare foot crossed under her. Her 
gray-white waist is open at the throat, her sleeves 
are rolled up, and she wears a white cap and blue 
apron. ‘The expression of her face is of quiet, 
happy content in her retreat, and with her work, 
and there is ease, grace and action as she knits.

In this picture of his ne studio, the 
painter-sculptor presents his nude’ model and the 
clay statue he has made from her, and himself also. 
The statue, the head swathed in damp cloths, 
faces the spectator, and on the platform beside it 
the model stands, quite nude, her back to the spec- 
tator, in the act of adding another wet cloth for 
the protection of the clay. Below her, on the floor, 
Géroéme bends over a water bucket, washing his 
implements. The canvas is interesting in offering 
different aspects of the figure, and in the contrast 
between the white and warm pink flesh of the model 
and the cool gray of her moist clay effigy.

smouldering overhead, trees flaming in the distance 
—the sky reflecting the lurid glow—fighting men, 
of the days when fighting was as welcome as eat- 
ing, are lined up before their commander, in all 
sorts of rich and colored and makeshift costumes. 
Some are helmeted, some have feathers in their 
hats—guns, halberds, swords their weapons; and 
a poet among them, reading, his sword under his 
cloak! And a drunken brawler behind him. 

Vibert’s own description of the painting accom- 
panies it, in a letter written in French in a further 
fervent expression of his emotional enthusiasm, in 


which he says: 


“On all sides the shrill blare of the trumpets has sounded, 
the officers are rallying their scattered forces; they will be 
off to other exploits. 

“Here, before his reunited company, the captain, erect 
in his saddle on a superb Spanish mount, proceeds to in- - 


spect his men, while yonder the advance guard is already 
on the march with its luggage and spoils. 

“At the center of this cross-roads, surrounded by the 
burned forest which is still smoking, these vagabond ad- 
venturers clad in rags and incongruous armor have the ap- 
pearance of rascally bullies rather than true warriors. 
Careless of the disaster they leave behind them, of the 
fire they have set; blood-stained and covered with mud, 
they witness impassively the terrifying spectacle of the cen- 
turies-old oaks crackling in flames, their blackened skele- 
tons making fantastic silhouettes against the bluish smoke! 
Yet—strange contrast—one of them carries in his pouch 
a bunch of roses; another, memorandum-book in hand, com- 
poses verses, which he is reading aloud. An unknown poet? 
O, no! His masterly nose ident.fies him among them all; 
it is Cyrano de Bergerac. And with that, you know his 
companions. They are the Cadets of Gascogne, so well de- 
scribed by Rostand.” 


Here follow the verses from Rostand beginning: 
“Oeil @aigle, jambe de cigogne, 
Moustache de chat, dents de loups.”

A strong and es painting off the useful

a well-modeled figure of a man. The sky is thick- 
ly overcast—a deep, unkindly nimbus hue through- 
out—yet somewhere at the right without the pic- 
ture there is a slant of remaining sunlight which 
casts the shadows of the animals and their conduc- 
tor ahead of them as they walk. The cow is white, 
with red neck and massive head, and _ solidly 
painted, and the heavy head of the brown-black 
ass is seen against her white side. The man, in 
green blouse and overalls, is walking in step with 
his beasts. | Signed at the lower left, C. Troyon.

One of the artist’s brilliant portrayals of the 
city. It is late afternoon of a summer day, the 


sun in a haze of pink is getting toward the hori- 
zon and sending his rays straight down the canal, 
making it luminous and colorful with the reflec- 
tions of the buildings, boats, and the bright ap- 
parel of citizens who are afloat. The palace rises 
pink against a blue sky at the right. At the left 
a high-pooped ship with an ornate stern lantern 
is just leaving the picture. In the foreground 
are gondolas loaded with gaily clad passengers, 
one of the boats, in the center, with its red canopy 
flaming in the sunset rays.

A gray winter squall has come up and caught 
some handsomely dressed Republican pedestrians 
on a terrace promenade among some trees. On 
some steps in the foreground a tall, lithe young 
woman of supple figure, clad in a fur-trimmed blue 
gown, stands facing the spectator as she draws a 
cape over her shoulders as a protection from the 
weather. She is without an umbrella. Back of her 
other women dressed in white and carrying purple 
silk umbrellas daintily raise their skirts as they 
pick their way along. The background is a misty

The haughty Emperor, nude above the waist, a 
purple robe over his knees, and wearing the crown, 
is seated on his lofty marble throne in the palace, 
the throne surrounded with flowers. About his 
neck and falling upon his chest is an ornate, jew- 
elled necklace. Men and women, and children 
dragged crying by their mothers, approach by a 
long flight of stairs to a balcony beneath the 
throne, bowing and kneeling in homage or seeking 
to touch his foot, while he throws back his head and 
looks beyond them in the proud vanity of disdain.

eyes of thoughtful expression, pink cheeks and 
blond hair bound within a white cap and a blue- 
white scarf, and she wears a shawl embroidered 
with flowers. The old-fashioned stringed hurdy- 
gurdy is slung from her shoulders and she has one 
hand on the crank, the other on the keys, ready for 


music,—a patient little street musician.

A canvas, though of modergte dimensions, tak- 
ing in an unusual breadth of view—both of land 
and sea—and of an equally unusual quality. In 
the foreground the broad stretch of green and fer- 
-tile French country is generously marked by char- 
-acteristic trees. Here on a knoll some cows are 
grazing. The land falls away in sweeping curves 
beyond them to the sea in the middle distance, and 
from the spectator’s eminence his eye looks over the 
broad landscape and waters and away to the rock 
‘of Mont Saint Michel far beyond. Curious 
“slicks” or currents mark the waters of the bay. 
The striking characteristic of the picture, how- 
ever, is its remarkable atmosphere, saturated with 
moisture and of a curious brilliance. From a red 
and golden sunset beyond the Mount a wonderful, 
‘mysterious glow suffuses the whole landscape. The 
rays of the unseen sun, which has not yet sunk to 
the horizon, cast long shadows of the cows and of 


neighboring trees into the foreground, toward the 
spectator, with an effect not less pictorial than 
naturalistic. 

Signed at the right, Félix Planquette, 1904. 


Purchased from the artist. 


M. Planquette exhibited in the Salon of 1894, at the age 
of twenty-one; obtained a mention in 1900, the Brizart prize 
in 1901, a medal of the third class in 1902, and in 1905 a 
medal of the second class and a “bourse de voyage.” His 
canvas that year was a “Baie du Mont Saint Michel,” a sub- 
ject he has used more than once with great success, par- 
ticularly in the atmospheric treatment. 

Of “Le Grain (shower) sur la Baie du Mont Saint 
Michel,” which the artist exhibited with other works in 
Paris in 1908, the Paris Hclair spoke as follows: 

“The sky is full of light; but, before the sun, a shower 
interposes, and what one would wish to be able to describe 
is the marvel of this water, which one feels to be fluid and 
pouring down, yet which, however, has the dazzling brilliance 
of a diaphanous veil of gold.” 

The same journal said further: 

“It is to be remarked that the landscapes of M. Plan- 
quette contain nearly always some animals, and not merely 
vague forms of beasts which are necessary for ‘spots.’ One 
feels, on the contrary, from the importance which the artist 
accords to his cows or his sheep, that to him these animals 
are necessary to express the soul of the country which he 
paints. * * * He certainly to-day is one of the most 
vigorous and most delicate of our landscape and animal 
painters.”
